In social science, journalism, and popular culture we hear a lot about ideological differences in everyday domains such as life satisfaction, empathy, and intergroup relations. At the heart of these issues are the emotional experiences and reactions of individuals in their daily lives. Some research has examined ideological differences in emotional reactions and attitudes toward outgroups. This project examines more complex, deliberative processes namely, the ways in which individuals attempt to control or regulate their emotions in various domains of life. Understanding the various ways in which people regulate their emotions has implications not only for understanding ideological differences in fundamental emotional processes, but also for the outcomes of these processes. Furthermore, an appreciation of the different types of emotion regulation strategies that work best may hold the key to developing interventions designed to improve personal well-being as well as relations among various groups in society.The proposed research involves three phases designed to illuminate ideological differences in emotion regulation processes in these two domains of life, explain these differences, and to develop catered interventions based on these differences. In 11 studies conducted in two countries (the United States and Israel, the latter of which is supported by the Israeli government), Dr. John Jost from New York University and his Israeli collaborator, Dr. Eran Halperin, will combine different methodologies to meet all three objectives. The first phase examines and maps how ideology shapes emotion regulation in the two domains using large-scale surveys, experience sampling, and EEG. In the second stage they examine four possible mechanisms that may drive ideological differences in emotion regulation through experimental manipulation of these mechanisms. Finally, in the third stage, they develop emotion regulation-based psychological interventions and test their effectiveness in improving well-being and intergroup relations.

在社会科学、新闻学和流行文化中，我们听到很多关于生活满意度、同理心和群体间关系等日常领域的意识形态差异。这些问题的核心是个人在日常生活中的情感体验和反应。一些研究考察了意识形态上的差异，包括对外群体的情绪反应和态度。该项目研究更复杂的审议过程，即个人在生活的各个领域中试图控制或调节情绪的方式。了解人们调节情绪的各种方式不仅对理解基本情绪过程中的意识形态差异有意义，而且对这些过程的结果也有意义。此外，对不同类型的情绪调节策略的欣赏，最好的工作可能持有的关键，发展干预措施，旨在改善个人福祉以及社会中不同群体之间的关系。拟议的研究涉及三个阶段，旨在阐明意识形态差异的情绪调节过程中，在这两个领域的生活，解释这些差异，并根据这些差异制定有针对性的干预措施。在两个国家（美国和以色列，后者得到以色列政府的支持）进行的11项研究中，来自纽约大学的John Jost博士和他的以色列合作者Eran Halperin博士将联合收割机结合不同的方法来实现所有三个目标。第一阶段使用大规模调查、经验采样和EEG来检查和绘制意识形态如何在这两个领域中塑造情绪调节。在第二阶段，他们研究了四种可能的机制，通过实验操作这些机制，可能会驱动情绪调节的意识形态差异。最后，在第三阶段，他们开发基于情绪调节的心理干预措施，并测试其在改善幸福感和群体间关系方面的有效性。
